The 10 Coolest Marvel characters missing from the MCU

1. Moon Knight
Moon Knight
While working for mercernaries in Egypt, Marc Spector stumbles upon an ancient statue of the Egyptian Moon God Knoshu. Sensing good in Marc, Knoshu grants him lunar powers and a silver costume. Though Marc eventually lost these powers, he fights crime as Moon Knight, a highly skilled hero with gadgets and multiple personalities. The darker tone of the Moon Knight comics lend the character toward a gritty Netflix show as opposed to a movie.
2. Silver Surfer
Silver Surfer
Disney will soon have control of Fox's Marvel movie properties, including Fantastic Four and all related characters, the coolest of which is the Silver Surfer. Imbued with cosmic power by the world eater Galactus, Norrin Radd sacrificed his humanity to become the Silver Surfer. The Surfer is a lonely and philosophical hero, and his story would be a welcome addition to the expanding cosmic MCU.
3. Nova (Richard Rider)
Nova (Richard Rider)
You may remember the Nova Corps as the interstellar police force from "Guardians of the Galaxy" (their main planet Xandar is destroyed by Thanos offscreen in "Infinity War"). In the comics, members of the Nova Corp are superpowered, with super-strength, flight, and energy blasts. Their most famous member is Richard Rider, a young man from Earth chosen by the Nova Corp as their next hero. Combining the wit and humanity of Spider-Man with the cosmic policing of Green Lantern, Nova fights against cosmic threats like Annihlus and Thanos.
4. Namor
Namor
Born of an Atlantean mother and a human father, Namor is a powerful mutant who dominates land and sea. Though he helped Captain America fight the Nazis in World War II, Namor's headstrong and brash attitude leads him to clash with heroes and villains alike. Possessing superhuman durability, strength, and speed, Namor is capable of fighting toe to toe with the Hulk. The movie rights to Namor are unfortunately tied up in a legal battle, but we'd love to see him swim onto the big screen.
5. Spider-Woman
Spider-Woman
Jessica Drew's mother was involved in a freak accident involving lasers, spiders, and other comic book nonsense, leading poor baby Jessica to develop powers at birth. Jessica has proportional spider-like speed, agility, durability, and strength, in addition to flight and control of beams of energy known as venom blasts. Initially an agent of HYDRA before becoming a hero, Jessica is also a highly skilled assassin, detective, and secret agent. She deserves a superpowered spy thriller of her own, and Marvel has already proved they can make super spy movies work with the excellent "Captain America: Winter Soldier."
6. Taskmaster
Taskmaster
As the world's most dangerous mercenary, Taskmaster has the ability to imitate any act he sees. For example, by watching videos of Hawkeye shoot arrows, he instantly gained the archer's bow skills. Having studied and mastered the fighting styles of various heroes, including Captain America, Spider-Man, and Daredevil, Taskmaster is a mixed bag of skills with no mercy, proving powerful enough to fight off the entire Avengers roster at once. Taskmaster would be a perfect on-screen foil to characters like Cap, Iron Man, or his longtime frenemy Deadpool.
7. Blade
Blade
The monster-slaying half-vampire Blade has been a fan favorite for decades due to his stylish weaponry, supernatural foes, and inner bloodlust. Given the immense popularity of the Wesley Snipes Blade movies, it's pretty surprising that he hasn't appeared in the MCU in any way.
8. Spider-Man 2099
Spider-Man 2099
Hailing from the dystopian cyberpunk future of 2099, Miguel O'Hara fights against oppressive megacorporations as the new Spider-Man. Miguel has most of Peter Parker's powers along with a high tech suit complete with talons, a glider, radar, and X-ray vision. Given the wide variety of settings we've seen in the MCU, a futuristic cyberpunk movie would be a nice change of pace.
9. Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
Arguably Marvel's most popular new hero in a decade, Kamala Khan was an ordinary New Jersey teenager who fangirled over superheroes. After gaining the ability to transform, stretch, and, in her own words, "embiggen" any part of her body, Kamala balances fighting crime with her teenaged troubles. Kamala is notably one of the first superheroes to be a Muslim woman, and her struggle between her secular friends and conservative family is one of the key points of the series.
10. Dr. Doom
Dr. Doom
As one of the most famous villains in comic history, Dr. Doom needs no introduction. Though he's been unfortunately butchered twice on the big screen, Doom is a complex and layered villain who'd fit perfectly in the MCU. A popular fan theory is that Doom will sieze control of Sokovia (the country decimated in the climactic battle of Age of Ultron), stoking anti-Avengers sentiment and transforming the country into Latveria.

Why can't Tony Stark just get out of the Iron Man suit and then let his AI snap the fingers for him?

  A fter the climax scene of AVENGERS : ENDGAME , people started discussing and fantasizing of different ways in which Tony Stark didn't had to die . And here is one such question : Why can't Tony Stark just get out of the Iron Man suit and then let his AI snap the fingers for him? In answer to this There are various reasons why Tony Stark did not use his suit remotely to perform the snap. There is no evidence that the Bleeding Edge nanotech suit is capable of being operated remotely. It seems like it has to be built around a user to function so even assuming that the Infinity Gauntlet can be used remotely the suit itself does not seem to have that function. I have a feeling after Ultron that Tony didn’t like the idea of suits that could operate without people in them. Speaking of using the Infinity Gauntlet remotely, what we see in the movies seems to suggest that the Gauntlet needs the wearer to be in physical contact with the stones to use them. That is why when they users p...

Why do people agree with Thanos’ plan when he is talking about mass genocide?

-

  Because some people are edgy. Because some people are small minded. Because some people cannot comprehend what genocide is or how it works. See, many people believe the underlying philosophy of what Thanos was doing. Or rather, they believe a sentiment similar. Earth does seem overpopulated. We have many people living in poverty, homelessness is a cancer among every country in the world, and people starve to death in the streets. Surely, there is an easy answer, no? Surely if we just cut down the number of people on the planet, say by half, these problems would be solved, right? Well….no. Not really. They would be exacerbated. But more importantly, the people who agree with Thanos simply don’t understand reality. At the time that I write this answer there are two other published answers. Both say that Thanos was right in what he wanted to do, even if it meant a genocide. The problem is, our planet’s resources are not stretched thin. We are not on the verge of a world-wide societa...

Why is Scarlett Johansson leaving Marvel? Was it her decision or Disney's?

-

Well lets see . . .   Disney is ready to move on and wants Yelena Belova to become the new Black Widow , just like we saw in the comics. And it seems like Johansson is OK with the idea of leaving. Scarlett Johansson and director Cate Shortland recently spoke with  The Gentlewoman . Shortland revealed that Black Widow was possibly Johansson's last film as The Black Widow. The idea of finality for Johansson as this character contributed to the making of the film, according to Shortland : “She really pushed to make something that wasn’t flimsy or superficial. She wanted to make something that meant a lot to young people and to women. And she knew it was possibly her last film as Black Widow – she didn’t want to leave Marvel making a feel-good movie.” Johansson herself added that the experience of doing her own solo film was "exposing": “She’s always been a part of something bigger than herself, and now that’s all gone. Yeah, it was exposing. But it was  time , you know?...
